Kalajdzic to Werder Bremen? A new ÖFB star approaching!

Kalajdzic to Werder Bremen? A new ÖFB star approaching!

Bremen, Deutschland - June 11, 2025 is a crucial date for SV Werder Bremen and its ambitions in the coming season. All three Austrians are currently in the team, Marco Friedl, Marco Grüll and Romano Schmid, part of the squad of the ÖFB national team. On Tuesday they competed in a game against San Marino, which underlines the strong presence of Austrian players in the Bremen team. In addition, another Austrian footballer could soon find their way to Bremen: Sasa Kalajdzic is the focus of the club.

Kalajdzic, currently under contract with Wolverhampton Wanderers, has had to deal with considerable injury problems recently. After having to pause last season due to a cruciate ligament injury he suffered in February 2023, his future is uncertain. However, he plans to find his old form with a possible switch to Werder Bremen. This could be the bounce base for the return of the striker to the Bundesliga, where he played at VfB Stuttgart from 2019 to 2022.

interest from several nations

Current reports indicate that Kalajdzic is not only courted by Werder Bremen, but also consists of other clubs from three different countries. It is assumed that the player could prefer a return to Germany after he has already lived there. This could make the negotiations between Werder Bremen and Wolverhampton easier because the club is ready to give Kalajdzic on loan in summer. The 27-year-old contract with the Wolves runs until 2027, which opens up a few options. Kalajdzic left the association in 2022 for a transfer fee of £ 15 million.

In the current situation, Kalajdzic has only played 327 minutes in 14 missions in his previous time at Wolverhampton, in which he scored three goals and gave a template. Despite its previous successes and the good relationship with the fan base, Kalajdzic is currently not planned for a role in the first team. It is all the more important for him to get regular playing time in order to familiarize yourself with the game.

injuries in the ÖFB national team

Another aspect that reinforces the situation around Sasa Kalajdzic is the injury shock that hits the ÖFB national team. In addition to Kalajdzic, Xaver Schlager, an important player in the central midfield, also fell out of the squad due to a cruciate ligament tear. David Alaba, the captain of the team, is also mentioned as an injured player - his participation would be "a little miracle" for team boss Ralf Rangnick. There are also other injured players who weaken the team, such as Philipp Lienhart, Kevin Danso and Maximilian Wöber.

Werder Bremen could not only consider Kalajdzic, but also use the current injury problem in the ÖFB team to your advantage. Negotiations around Kalajdzic are an exciting aspect of team design and could mean a decisive reinforcement for the club.
